HADOOP INSTALLATION STEP BY STEP PROCESS ON LINUX (SINGLE NODE CLUSTER)

Step 1 — Installing Java

First we need to update the package list

 sudo apt-get update

Next, install JDK, the default Java Development Kit on Ubuntu version.

 sudo apt-get install default-jdk

Once the installation is complete, let's check the version.

 java –version
 Output

java version "1.8.0_151"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

This output verifies that OpenJDK has been successfully installed.

Step 2 — Installing Hadoop

With Java in place, we'll visit the Apache Hadoop Releases page to find the most recent
stable release. Follow the binary for the current release:

Or simple write the following command on terminal, On the server, we'll use wget to
fetch it:

 wget http://apache.mirrors.tds.net/hadoop/common/hadoop-2.9.0/hadoop-
2.9.0.tar.gz

Note: The Apache website will direct you to the best mirror dynamically, so your URL may
not match the URL above.

Now that we've verified that the file wasn't corrupted or changed, we'll use the tar
command with the -xflag to extract, -z to uncompress, -v for verbose output, and -f to
specify that we're extracting from a file. Use tab-completion or substitute the correct
version number in the command below:
tar -xzvf hadoop-2.9.0.tar.gz

Finally, we'll move the extracted files into /usr/local, the appropriate place for locally
installed software. Change the version number, if needed, to match the version you
downloaded.

 sudo mv hadoop-2.9.0 /usr/local/hadoop

With the software in place, we're ready to configure its environment.

Step 3 — Configuring Hadoop's Java Home

Hadoop requires that you set the path to Java, either as an environment variable or in
the Hadoop configuration file.

 HADOOP INSTALLATION STEP BY STEP PROCESS ON LINUX (SINGLE NODE CLUSTER)
The path to Java, /usr/bin/java is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/java, which is
in turn a symlink to default Java binary. We will use readlink with the -f flag to follow
every symlink in every part of the path, recursively. Then, we'll use sed to
trim bin/java from the output to give us the correct value for JAVA_HOME.

To find the default Java path

 readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:bin/java::"

Output
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/
You can copy this output to set Hadoop's Java home to this specific version, which
ensures that if the default Java changes, this value will not. Alternatively, you can use
the readlink command dynamically in the file so that Hadoop will automatically use
whatever Java version is set as the system default.

To begin, open hadoop-env.sh:

 sudo nano /usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop/hadoop-env.sh

Then, choose one of the following options:

Option 1: Set a Static Value

/usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop/hadoop-env.sh

. . .
#export JAVA_HOME=${JAVA_HOME}
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/

Step 4 — Running Hadoop

Now we should be able to run Hadoop:

 /usr/local/hadoop/bin/hadoop

Output

Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] [COMMAND | CLASSNAME]

CLASSNAME run the class named CLASSNAME

or

where COMMAND is one of:

The help means we've successfully configured Hadoop to run in stand-alone mode Check
Hadoop version. To ensure that Hadoop installed successfully need to check Hadoop
version.

/usr/local/hadoop/bin/hadoop version

If everything alright it will give output

This command was run using
/usr/local/hadoop/share/hadoop/common/hadoop-common-2.9.0.jar

We'll ensure that it is functioning properly by running the example MapReduce program
it ships with. To do so, create a directory called input in our home directory

 mkdir ~/input

Create a text file (eg. Text.txt) inside input folder. Here our file name is text.txt and it
contains some textual information (Hi, his name is Himadri, his favorite place is Dehradun
which is located at Uttarakhand. This information will help you to search hi in all word
containing hi).

Now copy Hadoop's configuration files into input to use those files as our data.

 cp /usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop/*.xml ~/input

Next, we can use the following command to run the MapReduce hadoop-mapreduce-
examples program, a Java archive with several options. We'll invoke its grep program,
one of many examples included in hadoop-mapreduce-examples, followed by the input
directory, input and the output directory grep_example. The MapReduce grep program
will count the matches of a literal word or regular expression. Finally, we'll supply a regular
expression to find occurrences of the word principal within or at the end of a
declarative sentence. The expression is case-sensitive, so we wouldn't find the word if it
were capitalized at the beginning of a sentence:

/usr/local/hadoop/bin/hadoop jar
/usr/local/hadoop/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples-
2.9.0.jar grep ~/input/text.txt ~/output 'hi[.]*'

When the task completes, it provides a summary of what has been processed and
errors it has encountered, but this doesn't contain the actual results.

The MapReduce task found one occurrence of the word hi followed by a period and 7
times in the text file hi found. Running the example program has verified that our stand-
alone installation is working properly and that non-privileged users on the system can run
Hadoop for exploration or debugging.
